Le principal choc est intervenu au printemps 2025, suite aux annonces sur une politique commerciale agressive aux États-Unis, provoquant des pics exceptionnels du VIX début avril avant une détente rapide au troisième trimestre. Les tensions géopolitiques, des épisodes de stress ciblés sur le secteur financier aux Etats-Unis et des doutes persistants sur l’évolution des politiques monétaires ont régulièrement poussé le VIX au-delà de sa moyenne historique lors du quatrième trimestre avant une nouvelle accalmie en fin d’année. Malgré ces incertitudes, le secteur des fusions-acquisitions s’est stabilisé sur un rythme comparable à celui de 2024, présentant même une hausse sensible en fin d’exercice. Activité du Groupe – Sur l’exercice 2025, les bonnes performances des fonds ABCA Opportunities et ABCA Reversion2, supérieures à 10% de rendement3, n’ont pas encore permis d’inverser la tendance sur le niveau des encours sous gestion. Ces encours s’établissent à 245M€ au 1er mars 2026, sensiblement en dessous des objectifs du Groupe. Le résultat de l’exercice 2025 présente une forte rentabilité sur les fonds propres (ROE) à près de 15%, en cohérence avec les...

Key financial data are as follows: In millions of euros Dec. 31, 2025 IFRS Dec. 31, 2024 IFRS Dec. 31, 2023 IFRS Current operating income €59.7 m €51.2 m €39.3 m Net income €25.1 m €26.8 m €16.5 m Earnings per share (EPS) €0.42 €0.45 €0.28 Return on equity (ROE) 14.8 % 16.4 % 10.6 % Equity €170 m €164 m €155 m Context – Alternating between episodes of stress and normalisation, financial year 2025 evolved in a market environment that was overall more volatile than in 2024. The main shock occurred in spring 2025, following announcements regarding an aggressive trade policy in the United States, triggering exceptional spikes in the VIX in early April before a rapid easing in the third quarter. Geopolitical tensions, targeted episodes of stress in the financial sector in the United States and persistent uncertainty over the direction of monetary policies regularly pushed the VIX above its historical average during the fourth quarter, before a further easing at year-end. Despite these uncertainties, the mergers and acquisitions sector stabilised at a pace comparable to that of 2024 and even recorded a marked increase at the end of the year. Group activity – During financial year 2025, the strong performances of the ABCA Opportunities and ABCA Reversion2 funds, with returns above 10%3, have not yet been sufficient to reverse the trend in assets under management. These assets under management stood at €245 million as at March 1, 2026, significantly below the Group’s targets. The result for financial year 2025 shows strong profitability on equity (ROE), at close to 15%, in line with the market conditions encountered. Current Operating Income, up by more than 15%, and Earnings Per Share, up by close to 19% excludi...

Second Youth-Center Gang-Rape Case Emerges As Cover-Up Fears Grow In Germany Via Remix News, A mother in Lower Saxony who found a disturbing video on her daughter’s phone that revealed that she was gang raped inside a church-run youth center by three teens, including a Syrian, Iranian, and Dutch national, in Gnarrenburg. However, once the story came out, it only grew darker, as it was revealed that staff, church officials and local authorities subsequently did everything possible to bury the story. This gang rape comes after national news reports revealed that a gang rape sexual assault occurred in another youth center in Berlin, but which was covered up because the assailants were Muslims and the youth center workers did not want to increase stigmatization. In this latest case, the woman, 43, says she first suspected something was wrong when she found a disturbing video on her daughter’s phone. It showed a girl being pinned down by a boy, filmed from behind. Confronted with the footage, her daughter was defensive, saying she had “no idea” where the footage came from and claimed, “It’s not me!” However, within days, the truth emerged in a WhatsApp message the girl sent to her mother: “Then they all did it to me and locked the door and turned on music so you wouldn’t hear anything.” The assault is alleged to have taken place in an upper room of the youth center in Gnarrenburg. The facility is jointly run by the local Protestant church and the Gnarrenburg community. Three suspects have been identified — a 16-year-old Dutch national who attends the vocational school across the street and is said to have lured the girl there via Snapchat, an 18-year-old Iranian with a substantial file at the youth welfare office, and a 15-year-old Syrian who, according to the mother, later claimed he was coerced into participating. The supervisor on duty, a part-time church deacon, later claimed he heard nothing. When the girl showed him a pregnancy test in the days that followed, he ne...

The deepening Strait of Hormuz crisis amid the war in the Middle East is choking the critical flow of not just oil but also fertilisers and perishable goods, and the Global South may face worsening food scarcity, warned the chief of a leading international business organisation. “We’re seeing the impact play out on fertilisers . A lot of people are not fully aware of the importance of the trade, particularly the shipment [of fertilisers] through the Strait of Hormuz and access,” John Denton, Secretary General of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), said. Calling the hampered flow of fertilisers a silent challenger, Denton warned that the developing world may face heavy collateral damage. Advertisement “If the unintended consequences are not visible, you won’t be dealing with them. At the moment, the issue of fertiliser is subsumed under the price of oil and fuel , but that doesn’t mean this silent challenge is going away,” he argued. “It’s emerging quite sharply as a potential crisis in developing and emerging economies which are dependent on [fertiliser] access and we’re seeing, like, a third of the supply crash,” Denton pointed out in an interview with the South China Morning Post on Friday.

At least 66 killed in military plane crash in Colombia, head of armed forces says toggle caption MiPutumayo/via AP BOGOTA, Colombia — A military transport plane with 128 people on board, mostly soldiers, crashed shortly after taking off Monday in Puerto Leguizamo, Colombia, killing at least 66 people and leaving dozens injured, the head of Colombia's armed forces said. General Hugo Alejandro López Barreto said that four military personnel were still missing. "Sadly, as a consequence of this tragic accident, 66 of our military elements died," he said. "At the moment, we have no information, or indications, that it was an attack by an illegal armed group," Barreto added. In a video posted on social media, Deputy Mayor Carlos Claros said that the bodies of the victims were taken to the small town's morgue, and that the only two clinics in town treated the injured before they were flown to larger cities. Puerto Leguizamo is located in Putumayo, an Amazonian province that borders Ecuador and Peru. Sponsor Message "I want to thank the people of Puerto Leguizamo who came out to help the victims of this accident," Claros told Colombian television station RCN. Defense Minister Pedro Sánchez said on X that the plane that crashed Monday was transporting troops to another city in Putumayo. Images shared online by Colombian media outlets showed a black cloud of smoke rising from a field where the plane crashed and a truck with soldiers rushing to the site. The airplane had 128 people on board, including 115 were from the Army, 11 crew members and 2 from the National Police. Baretto said 57 people were evacuated. Media outlets shared videos of soldiers being rushed from the site on motorcycles driven by local residents, while another group of residents tried to put out the fire that the plane crash had created in a field surrounded by dense foliage. toggle caption Colombia's Armed Forces press office/via AP Carlos Fernando Silva, the commander of Colombia's air force, said detail...

chachamal Asian equity markets rebounded Tuesday morning, tracking an overnight recovery on Wall Street after President Trump granted a five-day extension to his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The postponement of military action against Iranian energy infrastructure triggered a sharp retreat in oil prices, which had hit $113 yesterday. Markets may remain volatile as Trump cited productive talks with Iran, while Tehran denied any negotiations, signaling no clear diplomatic breakthrough. WTI crude futures climbed above $91 per barrel on Tuesday, recovering some losses from the previous session. Gold prices fell toward $4,300 per ounce on Tuesday, staying under pressure amid heightened Middle East tensions as Iran denied holding talks with the US to end the conflict. Japan ( NKY:IND ) rose 0.89% to around 52,500, while the broader Topix Index climbed 2.5% to 3,570 on Tuesday, snapping a sharp two-day selloff. The Japanese yen weakened past 158.5 per dollar on Tuesday, trimming gains from the previous session as oil prices recovered some of Monday’s losses. Japan’s annual headline rate eased to 1.3% from 1.5% in the prior month. For the first time since early 2022, core inflation (1.6%) fell below the Bank of Japan’s 2% target, marking a three-year low. Food prices in Japan rose 4.0% year-on-year in February 2026, slightly accelerating from a 3.9% increase in the prior month. The S&P Global Japan manufacturing PMI decreased to 51.4 in March 2026 from 53.0 the previous month, falling short of expectations of 52.8. The S&P Global Services PMI also dropped to 52.8 in March from 53.8, the weakest since December. China ( SHCOMP ) rose 0.65% to around 3,820 on Tuesday, pausing a three-day losing streak, and the offshore yuan edged slightly lower to around 6.894 per USD, moving in a tight range. Sentiment also improved after China's Premier Li pledged to boost imports of high-quality foreign goods and promote balanced trade, while PBoC Governor Pan Gongsheng...

jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images One thing I love about the American banking market is the presence, existence, and continued strength of regional banks. I have previously had success in investing in several of the non-major regional banks (my history with the larger US banks has been very limited - I have never really invested in any of them, but rather kept to the mid-cap and smaller sectors because I find them easier to analyze and understand - ergo, to find undervaluation). This doesn't mean that these banks are without their risks. I will spend some time in this article discussing specific risks not only with the target of the article, Huntington ( HBAN ), but for regional banks in general. I will then apply these regional risks to Huntington , to make sure that the company's exposure to any one of these specific risks isn't too significant. All too often, I get from subscribers that I overfocus on Europe or the international market. I want to show you, dear followers, that the regional US market is a market that I love as well, and where I look for bargains. It's my stance that bargains can, in fact, be found anywhere in the market, if you keep your mind and your eyes open, and you're willing to take a shot when opportunity presents itself. It's my hope, in the reverse, by showing this, that you will become more confident also in looking beyond the US borders when it comes to attractive investments. As with regional US investments, all that's needed to determine the appeal of an international investment is understanding and valuation. That's what I mean to apply here. So, with that said and out of the way, let's see what we have here. Huntington Bancshares - Attractive even at conservative multiples and forecasts Since the general overvaluation of, I would argue, the entire European banking sector (with very few exceptions) as well as most insurance companies, I have been directing my value-focused eyes on the mid-market and mid-cap market financ...

Sundry Photography Gilead Sciences ( GILD ) on Monday said it would acquire privately held Ouro Medicines, a biotech company developing T cell engager therapies for autoimmune diseases. The agreement includes $1.675 billion in upfront cash, plus up to $500 million in potential milestone payments. The acquisition adds OM336 (gamgertamig), a clinical‑stage BCMAxCD3 T cell engager, to Gilead’s growing inflammation portfolio. OM336 is designed to enable rapid and deep B cell depletion following a limited subcutaneously administered treatment course. Gamgertamig has been granted both fast track and orphan drug designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of AIHA and ITP and is expected to enter registrational studies in 2027. Additionally, Gilead ( GILD ) is currently in advanced discussions with Galapagos regarding a potential research and development collaboration on the acquired Ouro Medicines assets. Galapagos would pay 50% of the upfront consideration and 50% of any contingent milestone payments payable to Ouro Medicines’ shareholders. Galapagos would absorb substantially all of Ouro Medicines’ operating assets and retain its employees. Gilead would also retain sole worldwide commercialization rights (other than in Greater China, where Keymed Biosciences has existing commercialization rights), and Gilead would pay Galapagos royalties of 20%-23% of net sales.

A sheriff’s office in Maryland has alleged a professional cornhole player, who is also a quadruple amputee, fatally shot a passenger in a car he was driving during an argument. Dayton James Webber, 27, was arrested and charged as a fugitive from justice by police in Albemarle county, Virginia, the Charles county sheriff’s office said in a statement. Charles county is seeking Webber’s extradition from Virginia and said he will be charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder and related charges. Webber didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment sent to an email address listed for him. In a 2023 essay for the Today show, Webber said doctors had amputated his arms and legs when he was 10 months old to save his life after he contracted a serious blood infection. His medical team gave him a 3% chance of surviving, he wrote. Webber went on to become a professional player of cornhole, a game in which players throw bean bags though a hole in a slanted wooden board to score points. Webber pulled over after the shooting in La Plata, Maryland, and asked two passengers in the back of the car to help pull the victim out, the Charles county sheriff’s office said. The witnesses refused, got out of the car and flagged down police officers. Webber fled with the victim still in the car, the sheriff’s office said. Two hours later, a resident in Charlotte Hall, about a 10-mile (16km) drive away, reported a body in a yard. The victim, Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, of Waldorf, was pronounced dead by officers at the scene. The American Cornhole League posted a statement on its Facebook page saying it was aware of allegations involving Webber but said it would not comment on what it called “an active legal situation” while proceedings were ongoing.
